FLUE INSTALLATION OPTIONS
WARNING
These instructions ONLY apply to the Rinnai 650FS gas re coaxial ueing system. This ue
system utilises pipe components with an aluminium inner pipe, a white plastic outer pipe and
powder coated dress pipe.
Before commencing installation, please read the Installation Instructions located with the engine.
All Rinnai products must only be installed with Rinnai ueing as referred to in their instructions.
Rinnai appliance warranty conditions may be voided if non Rinnai Flue Components are tted.
A Rinnai 650FS gas re is room sealed as dened in AS/NZS 5601.
The outer plastic section of the coaxial ue complies with temperature hazard requirements and
can be installed with zero clearance to combustible material.
CUTTING THE FLUE COMPONENTS
Using the dimensions shown on page 8, calculate
the required number and type of ue components that
are needed to reach from the heater to the ue terminal.
When cutting components the outer ue pipe should be
cut to the required length plus 37mm and the inner ue
pipe should be cut to the required length plus 47mm,
this will ensure that the correct penetration is provided
for joining of components.
When inner and outer pipes are re-assembled after
cutting the inner pipe should extend 10mm beyond the
end of the outer pipe. See Fig. 1.
Cutting ue components can create sharp edges, care must be taken to avoid injury, use a le to
remove debris, burrs and sharp edges from cut ends.
Ends that are left unnished can damage the ue seals and result in the ue components no
longer being air or weather tight.
The ONLY COMPONENTS that can be cut are as follows: 650FSPIPE, 650FSROOFCOWL
and 650FSTUBE1.
Ensure all ends are cut square (the use of a mitre box will ensure a clean square cut).
